Access Issue: Temporary Notice on aerial herbicide treatment & Bad Bolt Submission Form
Details
PSA for those thinking about a trip. The gates are still closed and the sign says enter at your own risk. "Aerial application by helicopter of the herbicide Rejuvra will target over 5,700 acres on a landscape that has been the focus of multiple years’ worth of treatment."

Description
Gunga Din takes the 3-bolt line adjacent to and to the right of 5.11 Crack. Thin, technical, near-vertical slab moves will get you through the crux. Try to pinch the occasional rugosity or imperfection in the clean granite if it makes you feel better, but your hands are pretty much worthless on this one except for clipping the bolts. The climbing eases back to about 5.8 after the third bolt - move up and slightly left to the same anchor as for 5.11 Crack. While the difficult moves are well-protected, the 5.8 runout after the third bolt is a bit sporty.
Protection
QDs (3 bolts), plus something for the two-bolt anchor. This can be toproped by climbing one of the easier adjacent climbs such as 5.11 Crack or E.O. Lieback.
Per Michael Friedrichs: this was established ground up by Bob Cowan. The first bolt was added later.
